I plan on building a PC, and I don't need any monitors or mice or whatever. The system will be used for some video editing and lots and lots of gaming. It should include a fast SSD and at least a GTX 970/980, and an overclockable CPU (prefer Intel), and the motherboard must support 2 way SLI, as I plan on upgrading. If possible, 12GB of RAM. All prices must be in CAD (ugh US prices are so good). BTW the price can go to 1350 CAD. Thanks!

$1337 before rebates... Do you need Windows?

 

@tze1000 The power supply can power two GTX 970s.  Are you familiar with the Xeon CPUs?
